Then why does Jesus refer to God as a seperate entity. From what I have read and listened to in church he never says he himself will provide salvation or any other act but God the Father will. As for the trinity being three in one why does Jesus sit at the right hand of God. Does the Spirit float to the left?
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:14-18 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
Jesus according to scripture was the only begotten son of God, he is the only being created directly by God.

But that is a New Testament Verse which according the my proposed theory is only used to justify Jesus where does God say he is sending His son or that he even has a son?
Gen 3:15 (The first prophecy in the Bible, Jesus was to be that seed of the woman)
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. (KJV)
Gen 22:18 (Jesus was the promised seed of Abraham)
18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice. (KJV)
Gen 26:4 (In Jesus, the seed of Abraham through Isaac, the whole world is blessed)
4 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; (KJV)
Gen 49:10 (The sceptre [scepter] denotes King, Shiloh means Peace; Jesus is the King of Peace)
10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. (KJV)
Adam? Eve?
15who is image of the invisible God, firstborn of all creation; 16because by him were created all things, the things in the heavens and the things upon the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones, or lordships, or principalities, or authorities: all things have been created by him and for him.

In fact, Jesus was the one who created both.

Wrong, Agur the son of Jakeh is asking about God. It says so in the preceding verses in Chapter 30. Words mean something, and a quote taken out of context is actually a pretext.

We are in agreement.
All things were created by him at Gods direction.

So your are saying God and Jesus are seperate then where in the Bible does it say Jesus created Adam and Eve. In Genesis 1:26-27 God creates man. Where does Jesus take credit for something he did not do.
John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God; all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father.
30Then I [Wisdom] was [a]beside Him as a master and director of the work; and I was daily His delight, rejoicing before Him always
Thus, God and Jesus seems to be separate, but in fact they are not, as mention in the bible according to John.
16 So he shall be your spokesman to the people. And he himself shall be as a mouth for you, and you shall be to him as God.

Proverbs 30:1-4
1 .) The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal,
2 .) Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man.
3 .) I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.
4 .) Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?
Verse 1 states Agur is speaking and continues to speak through the verse you quoted. It never changes to him speaking of God, he is asking what man can do the miracles of God.
